We’re celebrating 100 robotic surgery cases performed at the Kaiser Permanente Tysons Corner Medical Center Ambulatory Surgery Center! 🎉

Congratulations to Dr. Kai Li, chief of urology, for performing the milestone 100th case. And to the dozen surgeons who helped to build the robotic surgery program and continue to help it grow — this achievement would not have been possible without you.

Today, patients can receive a range of complex, multispecialty procedures in an ambulatory setting, including:

🔹 Hysterectomy
🔹 Myomectomy
🔹 Sacrocolpopexy
🔹 Prostatectomy
🔹 Abdominal wall reconstruction
🔹 Paraesophageal hernia repair

Behind every one of these procedures is a team bringing together cutting-edge technology, surgical expertise and careful coordination — with a shared goal of delivering high-quality care while helping patients get home sooner and get back to their lives faster.

To every surgeon, nurse, surgical tech, assistant, anesthesiologist and team member who has helped build this program: thank you. Your expertise, collaboration and commitment to excellence are helping set a new standard for surgical care.

Here’s to 100 cases — and to the many patients who will benefit from what comes next. 💙
